I know I should probably ask my pdoc, but he's so SLOOOOOOOW. He'd probably make me wean off it in six weeks and make no other necessary med changes at my next appointment (which is on April 3rd). I'd rather just be off it by my appointment.

It's seriously doing nothing. It's just a pointless med that I'm on.
I've been on and off topamax a few times and the first couple times I was just on 50-100mil. I had no trouble going off cold turkey. Now I'm on 75 mg twice a day and even going down 25mg a day has been an issue for me.

So the higher dose is where I had the issue at.

I use it for my moods too.
